Organ transplantation represents a remarkable achievement in medical science. While some individuals gain from these procedures, countless others miss out on life-saving opportunities due to the lack of available donor organs.1 Developing functional organs in a laboratory using a patient’s own cells could offer a tremendous benefit to humanity.
Creating complex human organs, however, presents substantial difficulties. For instance, human skin consists of various cell types, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. To engineer an organ, it is crucial to culture these diverse cell types in an environment that mimics the conditions found within the human body.
3D bioprinting has immense potential because it can effectively replicate tissue structure and manage the tissue microenvironment. This technology provides high reproducibility in...
